The glasshouse structure consists of columns and beams of circular or rectangular timber sections with cable crossbracing. Assembly and articulation elements will be in steel. With its simple glazing it form a highly glazed envelope.

The structural grid and subgrids are regular allowing for rational and economic construction with as much prefabrication as possible. 

A repetitive structural system will allow for maximum prefabrication. The glass envelope forms a shelter during the construction phases.

The principle of a double envelope (glasshouse and inner buildings) allows for greater flexibility of the spaces and simplifies and modifications.
